Hello dear
Understand your concern
Light bleeding, spotting and irregular period are common after inserting Copper T for first 2-3 months. It is known side effect of copper T due to hormonal imbalance and foreign body reaction. After consulting the doctor you have to take following medicine to stop the bleeding:
Tranexamic acid for 4-6 days to reduce the bleeding.
Oral contraceptive pill and progesterone pill can be given for 2-3 week to reduce the bleeding.
But after taking pill if bleeding will still continue and you feel uncomfortable then you have to remove the copper T and you have to use other modality of contraception like Contraceptive patch and nuvaring.
Take healthy diet with iron supplements and maintain proper pelvic hygiene.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
